在当代的话语中,认为农村发展的最终目标是提高农村人民的生活质量。因此,必须超越与收入有关的农村发展因素。包容性农村发展是一个比传统农村发展概念更具体的概念,容纳了农村发展中生活质量的变量。这一概念包括三个不同但相互关联的方面:经济方面、社会方面和政治方面。由马来西亚政府实施的农村改造中心(RTC)是该国第三代农村发展项目之一。RTC是一个站点,用于为站点周围100公里范围内的农村社区实施一些综合举措。在农村转移技术实施方案下有八项主要举措,即:培训农村人口;设立1个马来西亚资讯站;高附加值农业措施;农业产品加工; agricultural produce supply chain management; university cooperation; food safety and pharmaceuticals services; and rural population financial facilities. RTC brings a unique opportunity for members of the rural communities to benefit from a myriad of initiatives and activities related to their livelihood and well being within the same premises. Despite some challenges, this programme has enormous potentials to address many important aspects of rural development. Based on review of relevant literature and field visits, this paper attempts to examine the prospects of the RTC concept of Malaysia in light of the theory of Inclusive Rural Development. The findings of this paper will help relevant governmental and non-governmental bodies and researchers gain an insight about the potentials and challenges of RTC for further improving the quality of life for the rural communities.
